Hello everybody! I'm definitely "exploring new lidos (= shores)", meaning today I'm not listing jewelry but...lavender bags!
You won't believe it, but I'm still waiting for sharing the sewing machine. It's my fault, of course, since I've been travelling all the time. When I travel, I cannot even take with me the things I need to make jewels, so, ex necessitate virtus, I've played with some fabric scraps. I hand sewed some sachets with black and white linen and the liberty fabric I bought
last month from "
Murphy and Sheehy" in Dublin.
I filled them with lavender buds - organically grown in France, very high quality! It smells so good!
The last lavender pillow is an eye-relaxing bag, I discover this genius thing at the local market years ago, but just today I decided to make one and tried it out. It's marvelous!

Linen is a "super transpirant" fabric, very good to make your sachets work correctly. An important tips on lavender bags: when you think they're losing the scent, just massage the sachet, gently crushing the buds. This is what makes them release their unique smell.

Stay tuned!
